The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is the world’s tallest arch. Isn’t that nuts?! They built this sucker in the mid 60s and plopped it right on the edge of the Mississipi River.

She liked them at first, but got a little frustrated when she couldn’t pull her hands out of them on her own. If Lily could talk, she’d probably tell you all about the bracelet she’s wearing. and puppies. Puppies! Puppies! Puppies!
